As I thank the Lord for the opportunity He gave me this past year and sit in gratitiude for everything in that year, I reflect on how the World Race changed my life.

Becuase of the Race, I found freedom.

Because of the Race, I have 30+ new friends that have helped walk alongside me.

Because of the Race, I have countless of friends around the World that showed me the beauty of life overseas.

Because of the Race, I deepened my relationship with God.

Because of the Race, I saw and experienced so many God moments.

Because of the Race, I have faith that Jesus will bring so many people to their knees and follow Him.

Because of the Race, I have experiences that no other person will.

Because of the Race, I have a unqiue perspective on life on earth and how Jesus wants more for us than just "living this life" but instead having purpose behind everything.

Because of the Race, I am unashamed of who my Maker is and boldy will proclaim His name.

Becuase of the Race, more and more people are coming to know the Lord.

Because of the Race, my life is forever changed. And for that I am so thankful.

Thank you for all of your support throughout this year. I have loved updating and sharing stories with everyone throughout my journey. I am happy to be home and sharing stories in person, but also taking time to thank God for this opportunity. If you are considering doing the Race, do it! Just go and be obedient to the Lord's calling. If you have any questions or want to hear more, or if you live in Colorado and want to get together, here is my instagram! joana_quintana_. I also have another blog platform that I had before the Race and will continue to write in that one after the Race. So go follow it and see where the Lord takes me! https://joanaquintanaallnations.blogspot.com/. I will be moving all my blogs I wrote on the Race onto that platform, thank you all!

Blessings,

Joana Quintana
